CONCLUSION

Pliny shows himself in a good light. Singled out by Curianus as the most morally influential of his mother's heirs, he resists the unscrupulous suggestion that he publicly hand over his share to Curianus.

But, openminded, he agrees to forgo acceptance altogether if it can be shown that Curianus' mother's decision not to make Curianus her heir was unjustified. Pliny conducts a professionally competent private hearing. When Curianus persists before the centumviral court it is Pliny who is asked to effect a compromise and this he achieves by agreeing voluntarily to place himself in the same position as those of his fellow heirs who are being sued and magnanimously to renounce one quarter of his share. In all this it rather escapes our attention that Pliny manages to retain the greater part of what he had been given by Curianus' mother and subsequently to acquire a further gift in Curianus' own will.
